Quotes:
“Oscar Gistau is a very complete number nine, a hybrid between a traditional center forward and a false nine. He can be a reference for direct play, capable of receiving and protecting the ball, but he is also a very associative attacker who knows how to link up and combine with the midfielders. He’s forward with great precision in finishing both when arriving in and being in the box. One of his standout qualities is his excellent ability to get into space; he always positions himself well and avoids being caught offside.”
(Ivan Carrasco – Gistau’s former coach in La Masia)
